Nice find Coombah
Hmm, I thought it was common knowledge among FF players that the names for a lot of weapons in FF come from legends/folklore/mythology/etc.
The same goes for monsters as well.
Fafnir - In Norse mythology, Fáfnir (Old Norse and Icelandic) or Frænir was a son of the dwarf king Hreidmar and brother of Regin and Ótr.
Aspidochelone - According to the tradition of the Physiologus and medieval bestiaries, the aspidochelone is a fabled sea creature, variously described as a large whale or sea turtle, that is as large as an island.
Tiamat - In Babylonian mythology, Tiamat is a chaos monster, a primordial goddess of the ocean, mating with Abzû (the god of fresh water) to produce younger gods.
Behemoth - Behemoth (play /bɨˈhiːməθ/ or /ˈbiː.əməθ/, also /ˈbeɪ.əmɔːθ/; Hebrew בהמות, behemoth (modern: behemot)) is a mythological beast mentioned in the Book of Job, 40:15-24.[1] Metaphorically, the name has come to be used for any extremely large or powerful entity.
The list goes on and on.
Of course, that's not to say I don't appreciate Coombah's contribution to the thread. Ties to real world mythology were always one of the things that I liked about the series.
